​Pricing Plan

Creator Custom Solution offers user-based pricing plan technique, so each client signing up can pay for the number of users they purchase.
The following pricing options can be configured from the 'Pricing Plans' page:
  1. Creator Base Price: This is a pre-set price defined based on Zoho Creator's pricing plan. The number of records, roles, profiles, and other limitations of each plan corresponds to that of Zoho Creator.Please note that this amount will be credited to Zoho. You can choose among the following base prices based on your requirements. 
  2. Mark up Price: This is a price that you can define, and the amount will be payable to you for each subscription.
  3. Total subscription price = Creator Base price + Mark up Price
  4. Minimum Users: The minimum number of users your clients have to purchase while subscribing to this plan. For example, if you want your clients to have a minimum of five users for this plan, specify 5.
  5. Enable User Add-on: This option enables your clients to add more than the minimum number of users configured for this plan. For example, if you wish to have a fixed number of users for this plan, say five, you can set the minimum number of users to five, and leave this option unchecked. Checking this box will let the clients add more than five users.
  6. Annual Discount: Discount given applies to per user per month. The total annual price will be adjusted based on the discount specified here.
  7. Mark this plan as default: Make this the default plan when a client signs up. Please note that the default plan's limits are applicable in the trial period. A plan can be marked as default in the "Preferences" section as well. 

Note:
  1. You can define up to five active pricing plans for a solution. Clients can switch to a different pricing plan at any point in time and the credits will be carry forwarded on a pro-rata basis.
  2. Once a plan is created, you cannot update the price. Alternatively, you can create a new plan, and disable the current plan. Disabling a plan will restrain new clients to subscribe to it and the existing subscribers will be unaffected. 
  3. You can delete a plan only if no client has currently subscribed to it. In order to delete a plan that has been subscribed to, all of its subscribers need to first switch to a different plan.

Helpers

Helpers let you configure Deluge scripts to automate custom actions using the following functions:
  1. Sign-up: Triggered when a client signs up for the solution.
  2. Plan change: Triggered when a client:
    1. upgrades, downgrades, or renews a plan 
    2. upgrades or downgrades user add-ons
    3. changes payment cycle or cancels the subscription.
Click here for the list of parameters that can be used in Plan change helper function.
Example: Edit the Signup helper to send a customized follow-up mail "Getting Started" to a client after the sign-up. 

General settings

1. Basic

In this section, you can rename your solution and add the URLs to your terms & conditions and privacy policy.

On providing these URLs, a checkbox to agree upon your terms and conditions and privacy policy will be displayed on the solution sign-up page.

You can set solutions logo and favicon in this section. Logo will be used in sign-in page of your service.
Note:
  1. The solution logo should be a 120X120 pixels image in .jpeg, .jpg, or .png format.
  2. The favicon should be a 16X16 pixels image in .ico format.

3. Contact info

Preferences

This section allows you to:
  1. Set a default profile for sign-ups.
  2. Set a default plan for a 15 day trial period.
  3. Set Sign-up type as "Public" or "Private". If the sign-up type is set to Public, any person will be able to sign up to your service using the Production URL or an invite. If the sign-up type is set to Private, only clients explicitly invited can log-in using a password.
